Adoption of Characters
I believe this idea has been brought up before, but I would like to suggest that we set up a policy for adopting these characters. When the creator of a certain character has not updated the character for a year or more, I see no reason to refuse other users looking to adopt them. To be completely honest, it makes me a little sad to see all those characters, a few with lots of potential, just sitting on that page, probably never to be updated. My vision of how the adoption process would go is something along the lines of this: This is just an idea that came to me when I viewed the Defunct Fanmades page, and I'm merely suggesting it, not trying to forcing on anyone. If you guys shoot this down right away, I might be a little annoyed, but I'll get over it. KokoA (talk) 20:41, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) We contact the creators of the defunct characters on their talk pages, informing them that their character will be put up for adoption. We could give them the option to specify things about their character that they would like to stay the same.
 * 2) If they give their consent or don't respond, the character would be placed on a page with a title like "Adoptable Fanmade Characters."
 * 3) A user that is interested in adopting the character would leave a comment on the talk page of the adoption page, and with the creator's appoval (if they are still active on Wikia) or Bunai's appoval (if they aren't active), the user could adopt the character and do whatever they wish with it, staying within the options given to them by the creator.
 * 4) The creator would have to power to reclaim the character at any time, or create a new character related to the adopted one.


 * Until I find more time for this wiki, I will have to put a hold on this proposal.
 * I am actually for it, but with some limits, because even though a character is defunct, they have history with the creator. And this will likely be a Western created characters only, due to the language barrier. -- Bunai82 (talk) 20:22, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
